“It was something that I didn’t think was racist at the time, but now I recognize it was something racist to do and I am completely sorry,” said @JustinTrudeau. “I have made a number of calls to friends and colleagues tonight and I will have many more calls to make” #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/myhh2ehRh5
